Fabric Scrap|Wood Pumpkins

Fall is almost here, and I start thinking fall “Halloween” crafts/projects. I am doing my best to hold off on Halloween until at least early-mid September. So today I am sharing these cute and simple “Fabric Scrap|Wood Pumpkins” I have a bunch of blocks from A Box of Blocks and I thought how cute would it be to take scrap fabric and hot glue fabric on and around to some wood blocks. Well that is what I did, and “Hello” super easy and you can make as many as you want with whatever orange colored or designed fabric that you like.

What you Need:

– wood blocks in different sizes

– fabric in some different colors and patterns

– Green burlap or other green fabric for the leaves

– rotary blad

– cutting mat

-ruler

– hot glue gun

– wood dowel toppers

– dark walnut stain and rag

– scissors

How To:

I started by cutting strips of fabric the width that I wanted, then I wrapped the perimeter of the wood block with the fabric hot gluing the strip of fabric down. I trimmed any over hang. I then continued with more strips of fabric layering and covering the rest of the wood block. Again, I cut off any over hang. I then took my wood dowel (not sure what they are called) topper and took some dark walnut stain to a rag and rubbed the rag all over the dowel to stain it. I set them aside and cut out leaf shapes from some green burlap. I added glue to one end of the burlap and pinched (careful not to burn) the ends together to create a leaf shape. I then glued down both leaves to the wood block and finally glued down the wood dowel topper. Super easy project great for a craft night.

I would love to make a train set with the blocks. I would make it to put under the Christmas tree. Then I don’t have to worry if the kids want to play with it. They can have fun and I still get my train under the tree.
